Chapter 10:Good Vs Evil

200 Years ago in an unknown location.

Applejack sat at her office desk at the Hanger looking at a recent e-mail from Mr Horse. The e-mail was frustrating to Applejack as it meant delays for the Krogoth.

"Darn it, more delays" She moaned to herself as she rested her elbows on the desk and rubbed her temples with her hooves. "At this rate the Krogoth will never be finished".

As she fumed to herself about the recent set backs she was made aware of a rasping sound on her office door.

"Ugh, come in" She groaned, not bothering to hide her frustration.

The door opened and a light orange mare with a white and yellow striped mane entered the office.

"Umm, is this a bad time?"

"What is it Carrot Twist?"

"Umm, you asked me to report back with the figures regarding the power output for the Stable-Tec Reactor"

Applejack removed her hooves from her head then sat up straight and motioned for her employee to continue.

"The reactor is working perfectly ma'am. If these readings are correct it can generate enough to power the machine, plus this entire facility"

Applejack smiled. "Bout darn time Ah got some good news" she thought to herself.

The pony turned to leave but then stopped as a thought came to mind. "Umm, ma'am, don't you think the reactor is a little too powerful for that machine?" She asked a little curiosity in her voice.

Applejack raised an eyebrow.

"Umm, don't you think it's a bit extreme for that thing to have that much power?" She asked now facing her boss again.

"Extreme?" Applejack almost shouted. The anger and frustrations from the recent set backs and the e-mail came rushing back. She had been under a lot of stress from other ministry duties and the strain of it all had been building and now it snapped and came rushing out upon being questioned about her decision. The light orange mare backed up from her boss's shout.

"No, it ain't over the top. It's exactly what it needs to be, POWERFUL"

"But, don't you think it's a little unnecessary?"

Applejack shot up in her fury as she glared at the now cowering mare.

"No, Ah don't. It needs to be powerful for what its mission is. For what it's got to do. For what it has to do"

The fuming Ministry Mare turned her head to the window in her office that over looked the massive robot surrounded in scaffolding.

"Ever since ma brother got killed Ah've been working long an hard to protect ponies. Ah made the power armour the Steel Rangers now use. That worked for a time but now our enemies use Anti-Machine Rifles to kill them. It seems that every time we make something to protect our ponies, our enemy has something that will counter it"

She looked back at the pony as her anger ebbed away slightly.

"That is why Ah decided to make this. To make something no pony can fight. This has to be unbeatable, it has to be, it has to, this war has to stop, Ah can't loose anypony else"

The Ministry Mare looked down as her emotions did a one eighty. Tears started to form in her eyes as her gaze turned back to the massive robot.

"Ah can't loose no pony else. Ah've lost my brother, ma grandmother, ma sister, ma farm and nearly my closest friends. Ah'll have nothing left soon, Ah don't want to loose anypony else Ah just can't" The strong mare finally gives in to her emotions and starts to cry.
